Answer:

13.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude of the base of the isosceles triangle bisects the vertex angle, <T, and also bisects the base, NS.

Therefore, NS is divide into two, 15 cm each.

This means we now have two right triangles from the isosceles triangle with the following:

Reference angle = 42°

Opposite = altitude = h

Adjacent = 15 cm

To find h, apply trigonometric function, TOA:

Tan 42 = Opp/Adj

Tan 42 = h/15

15 * Tan 42 = h

h = 13.5060607 ≈ 13.5 cm (nearest tenth)

A 1.5 standard deviation above the mean is
np + 1.5 <span>√(np(1-p))

We are given with
np = 200
p = 200/n
The standard deviation is
</span><span>√200(1-200/n))

Substituting
200 + 1.5 </span>√200(1-200/n))
By inspection, if the value of n is 200, then the radical will result to the value of 1. Only by increasing the value of n greater than 200 will the radical result to a value of less than 1 and decreasing the spread of the mean.
The answer is
the minimum is 201
the maximum is infinity
